This guild, The Trophy Hunters, beat us in GW 2-3 wars ago. They were good! However now I see they’re only one Bracket ahead of us (and not particularly challenged by their opponents). I feel bad for them. They should be much higher up in the rankings.

When two over-performing guilds meet in a lower Bracket, they slow each other down, even if in the broader scheme of things, they both outclass their surroundings opponents by a mile. This is a failing of the GW Bracket progression system/formula.

This shouldn’t be a new consideration (me, from Feb '19):

> I think this is actually a significant issue re: the bracket-jumping formula. If you have 2 high performing guilds in the same, low bracket, only 1 of them will be able to benefit from the bracket jumping, I believe. I.e., I don’t believe the formula accounts for localised disturbances/chaos, which makes it much less effective than one might think it is. […]

> - In bracket 370, there are 2 high performing guilds that score 1 million and 900,000 points, respectively.
> - How many brackets does the 2nd guild (with 900,000) points move up?
> 
> I believe it would only be 1-2, currently, while the 1st guild (with 1 mil points) would potentially move up ~30-40 brackets (although I’m not sure, and they might only move up 1-2 brackets, as well) - and if so, I would believe this to be a flaw.
